Recipient Org: Description | Our charitable objectives are: o To deliver practical and experiential community sessions for the older person, those with dementia and their carers and those who feel lonely and isolated in their community from Music and Memories to themed reminiscence; o To deliver a wide range of training courses both accredited and non accredited within the fields of reminiscence, dementia, activities and life story work to health care professionals, family carers and volunteers; and o To provide the inter-generational dementia awareness Archie project linking primary schools, care homes/ sheltered housing schemes, businesses/services and community members to ultimately reduce the fear and stigma associated with dementia. Reminiscence Therapy gives people with dementia the opportunity to meet as a group and share their stories and experiences through activities. This is proven to boost their self-esteem and help connect the present and the past. We organise activities for people with dementia and provide training for their carer’s and health care professionals, while our Archie project engages with schools and teachers. |
